grognerd 

An aging or old nerd. Grognerds often talk far too long about the nerdy things of the past. The term is meant lovingly.

Origin: 'Grognerd' is a bastardization of 'Grognard'.

Rob is still going on about how he had to download mp3s over a dialup connection. The dude is such a grognerd.

A. Did you see Game of Thrones last night? It was good except middle easterners would never wield katanas, and dragons don't fly like that, sorry to be a grognard about it.

B. We tried to watch 300, but Bill kept grognarding about how the Spartan armor was more like Athenian armor.
